Re: [newbie]Printing
Bill Fisher [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Mandrake 7.0, Canon bjc4400 printer The only output I get on the printer is the test (I think) stuff which begins: %!PS-Adobe-2.0 on the first line. I have an /etc/printcap file, and a filter file at /var/spool/lpd/lp/filter These were generated by the install when I selected postscipt printer, as I saw no selection for my printer. I dont see any references to setting up the printer except at install time in the Mandrake-suppiled manuals. DrakConf printerdrake ?

Re: [newbie] Core file, what is it?
Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Indeed. It is a memory dump of a crashed program. This is only (afaik) generated by Gnome-oriented programs.

Re: [newbie] GET READY FOR A DISCUSSION
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Linux-Mandrake should build on features it has already in place. During install the helpful information at the bottom of the screen could be actually useful, and should occupy more of the screen (it's like an after-thought now). In 7.1 if you hit the F1 key you'll get a big screen with a lot of information. Using InstallUpgrade should actually be useful to reinstall only one thing (to bypass install steps not needed), for example, reinstall X windows if it should become damaged instead of this kind of upgrade reinstall hanging as it does.
